Our Shutter Collections: Heritance®, NewStyle® & Graber
Three collections, one standard: custom-built to your window's exact measurements and installed by our own team. Tap any photo to browse each collection.
Heritance® Hardwood Shutters
The flagship: genuine hardwood panels with furniture-grade stains and custom paint colors, dovetail-solid construction, and the whisper of SoftClose™ louvers. Heritance® is what people picture when they say plantation shutters — and with bypass and bi-fold tracks, it covers sliding doors as gracefully as windows.
- Genuine hardwood, furniture-grade finishes
- SoftClose™ louver operation
- Bypass & bi-fold track systems for doors
NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters
The smart middle path: NewStyle® blends real wood with modern hybrid materials for shutters that resist warping and hold their finish at a friendlier price than solid hardwood. It's also the shapes specialist — arch tops, angle tops, café style, and double-hung configurations, built to the curve.
- Wood-hybrid construction resists warping
- Arch, angle & specialty shapes
- Café and double-hung styles
Graber Wood & Composite Shutters
Both worlds, one dealer: Graber builds genuine hardwood shutters for living spaces and moisture-safe composite panels for baths, kitchens, and laundry rooms — painted or stained, at a price that makes shuttering the whole front of the house realistic.
- Hardwood and composite panel options
- Composite is moisture-safe for baths & kitchens
- Painted and stained custom finishes
Hardwood, hybrid, or composite? We'll bring panel samples of all three.

Why Shutters Are the Investment Pick
Blinds and shades are window treatments. Plantation shutters are millwork — the one covering that's quoted with the house when you sell it.
Built Into the Home
Custom-fitted frames and panels read as architecture, not accessory — buyers and appraisers treat them as a home feature, and they typically convey with the sale.
Decades, Not Years
A quality shutter outlasts several rounds of blinds. Hardwood panels with furniture-grade finishes are a once-per-house purchase.
Any Shape You Have
Arch tops, angle tops, eyebrows, corner windows, double-hungs — NewStyle® specialty shapes are built to the curve, not squared off around it.
Sliding Doors Too
Bypass and bi-fold track systems put shutter panels on sliders and French doors — the most substantial door treatment made.
No Cords, No Fuss
Louvers tilt by hand — inherently child- and pet-safe, nothing to tangle, nothing to restring.
Light & Privacy Precision
Split-tilt panels let you close the lower louvers for privacy while the uppers pour in light — a trick no blind does as elegantly.
Honest math: shutters cost more per window than wood blinds or faux wood — that's the price of permanence. And for bathrooms and kitchens, see our Polysatin® composite shutters, guaranteed against moisture for life. Many of our customers shutter the street-facing front of the house for curb appeal and use blinds or shades in back. We'll price both approaches at your free consultation.
Plantation Shutters for Northern Virginia Homes
If any region's architecture asks for shutters, it's this one: Old Town Alexandria and Del Ray townhouses, Vienna and McLean colonials, Great Falls estates — homes where white shutter panels in the front windows look original to the house. For bathrooms and kitchens in our humid summers, we spec NewStyle® hybrid or Graber composite panels so the finish stays flawless through years of steam.
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation: real Heritance®, NewStyle®, and Graber panel samples in your home, precise measuring of every opening (arches included), and an exact quote — or visit our showrooms in Vienna, Herndon, and Alexandria to swing full-size panels yourself.
Plantation Shutters FAQ
Do plantation shutters add value to a home?
They're the one window treatment widely treated as a home improvement rather than décor: custom-fitted, permanent, and they convey with the sale. Real estate listings in Northern Virginia routinely call out plantation shutters as a feature. We can't promise appraisal math, but no blind ever made it into a listing headline.
How much do plantation shutters cost?
More than blinds, by design — you're buying millwork. Pricing depends on panel material (hardwood vs. hybrid vs. composite), window sizes, and shapes; specialty arches cost more than standard rectangles. We quote exactly, in your home, for free — with promotions up to 40% off and 18-month 0% APR financing that makes whole-front-of-house projects manageable.
Wood, hybrid, or composite shutters — which should I choose?
Hardwood (Heritance®, Graber wood) for living spaces — the finest finishes and stains. Hybrid (NewStyle®) balances real-wood looks with warp resistance at a friendlier price. Composite (Graber) is the moisture-proof pick for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Most whole-home projects mix two of the three.
Can shutters cover arched windows and sliding doors?
Yes to both — and better than almost anything else. NewStyle® builds true arch-top, angle-top, and eyebrow shapes to the curve, and bypass or bi-fold track systems put shutter panels on sliding and French doors. If your home has an opening you've never known how to cover, it's probably a shutter job.
Can I see shutters on my own window before ordering?
Yes — upload a photo to our free AI visualizer and see Heritance®, NewStyle®, or Graber shutters rendered on your actual window in about 10 seconds. Then at your free in-home consultation, we bring physical panel samples so you can judge finishes and louver sizes in your own light.
